Today, I went into Power Complex-Haunted Passage, Depth 1 of Iron Serpent Gate 20 times in order to calculate the odds of a Punkin King room Spawning.

Here are my resuls:

Times the Punkin King room spawned: 11
Tiems the Punking King room did not spawn: 9

For me, this means that I had a 55% chance of getting a Punkin King when I entered the level.

What I want to know is the odds of every else around here, If you could post yours below, it would be greatly appreciated, I may do a running percentage if I have time.

(Off-Topic- On my 20th run through depth 1, I was rewarded with an iron lockbox on the prize wheel, proving to myself that Iron lockboxes are possible on depth 1! ^_^)

Remember that only certain levels are capable of spawning punkin king rooms, do not include the other levels in your data please.

I'm guessing it's probably the same odds as a danger room showing up. (Though I should note the two aren't exclusive, I've seen one level with both a danger room and a punkin king)

I'll take notes on my next run.

11/17 ~ 65% so far. Prior to the patch, it was closer to 70-75% but my sample size is too small to draw any real conclusions. On another note, yesterday I managed to get treat every single time except the last encounter (used 100 mist).

9 runs....

I know I wrote down my information from early runs, but now I can't find it...so all I have is the last 9 encounter possibilities.

I used depths 9-11 of the Iron Serpent gate

of the 9 encounter possibilities, 6 were positive (which is around 66.6% (I for one was amused, even if my sample is much too small to conclude anything)

Further, of the six encounters, 4 were tricks, 2 were treats.

Not counting the times I've been invited specifically for a punkin king, I've literally had a 100% record. And only two tricks. I'm a lucky charm. :3

I have not kept track, but my gut feel is that it's close to 50/50, if not exactly.

I usually have it that 1 or 2 of 3 gear levels will have PK.
This morning, my friends and I did 4 gear levels in a row on stratum 5 of coral phantom and got none.

Gotta love RNG.

...smell my feet

I'm running at about 80 percent, roughly - very much more likely to get the PK than not so far. And only three tricks so far!

A fail for the pun run...
Visited 21 clockwork tunnels
Punking appeared only 3 times

Anecdotal, but:

Estimated encounter rate of about 50% (Runs that I personally did to try and find him)
Trick rate of about 40% (includes runs I joined after a confirmed sighting)

As a side note, I saw danger rooms in about 80% of the clockwork level tunnels I visited, including the ones where I joined a confirmed sighting.
Anyway, when y'all have your Spookat and Phantom masks, you should pair them with Spiral Scale Mail and Firebreak Armor and come invade Haven.

this may overcomplicate things but are chances affected by tiers?.

Nah, I feel it's about the same rates. However, he and his zombies do become tougher in lower depths. In T3, his zombies have Stun Breath.

EDIT: But not much tougher of course. ;) I remember killing his zombies with around 2 strikes of my Ascended Calibur( I was wearing an Ashtail Coat too.) So it' snot much of a difficulty thing.

i did i think 4 PK runs, but only 3 had him.

75% chance so far, i guess.

however, i noticed the the depth with no PK was the only depth with a danger room.

maybe danger rooms have something to do with the equation?

-All of my runs were on iron serpent.
-There were rooms with punking king and danger rooms.
-Punking can appear before and after the party switch.
-You can find danger rooms by itself or punking by itself too.
-I found 2 iron lock-boxes

Day 1 before patch 7/10
Day 2 after patch 4/10
Day 3 5/13

By 7/10 I mean out of 100 mist I found him only 7 times.
Curiously I started finding punking more after I was running on CE.

Info on my run

I went solo for most of those, but for 5 of them I had at least some one else and out of those five I got three
Groups probably affect it more

Did some last night.
Tier 1 run - 3 possible Clockwork levels. First time through, I hit Punkin on all three - and all three were Treats. Second time through went 1 of 3, got Trick. Third time through, 2 of 3, Trick and Treat.
Not bad, and about 2/3 of the way towards my goal!

if u want almost 75% pk, go on the clockworks lvl it iron serpent t1 depth 1

OR just sit in haven and send tells 2 all ur friends asking them 2 invite u at pk. got like 10+ PK lvls by joining guild and frieds :P

Did 24 more runs today, got 14 PK spawns, and I offically have all 3 authentic masks, so this will be my last posting.

I'll be adjusting title to fit new odds.
